There’s nothing like a pattern that you love enough to sew twice. The Sassy Sweatsuit by Patterns by Dee definitely earned that honor in my sewing room! This is my second time making this pattern, and I have to say, it’s just as enjoyable as the first. The first one was made in November 2024 (the black and white). I am starting to see a theme with this pattern and the month of November.
For this version, I used a soft sweatshirt fleece (I wish I could remember where I purchased it — clearly I need to start labeling my fabric stash!). The fleece provided an excellent balance of warmth and structure. This makes it ideal for cozy weekends. It is also perfect for casual days out.
Easy and Beginner-Friendly
One of the things I really appreciate about the Sassy Sweatsuit is how beginner-friendly it is. The construction is straightforward, and the instructions are easy to follow. If you’re newer to sewing and looking for a confidence-boosting project, this one is a great choice.
Small Alterations
The only adjustment I made was to the pant length. I removed about 4 inches to get the perfect fit for my height. Otherwise, the pattern fit beautifully straight out of the envelope.
Final Thoughts
This is one of those patterns that I know I’ll reach for again and again. It’s comfortable, stylish, and comes together quickly — everything I love in a loungewear project. The Sassy Sweatsuit is a reminder that sometimes the simplest makes can bring the most satisfaction.
Until next time,
